A review by tristans_library
The Scarlet Alchemist by Kylie Lee Baker

4.0

"I am the night that birthed the world. I am the bones of all the planets. I am silence. I am the end."

This historical fantasy set in ancient China is marvelous and full of gory magical adventure!

"I want to be chosen freely, or not at all."

I loved that the history blended perfectly with the magic! The story had many unique elements and was fast paced!

This is going to be a series so the end is enticing and leaves room for more story, but also wraps up well enough that you aren't left on a cliffhanger, and can be satisfied without reading future books.
